WTF! That’s right! You heard it correctly. Some of us here have been known to
wear tighter-fitting clothes and pedal long distances to visit nature’s delights,
we also saw the huge dollar signs in gravel which could fund the development
of other ridiculous projects like a beer-powered jet ski. We have made what
appears to be, in fact, a gravel bike—but not just any gravel bike. This gravel
bike or The Hagar as we call it, has borrowed some things from its fully
suspended Evil family members.
In an eort to be less terrified and have more fun we drew inspiration from
the Oering which uses a longer front to center and reach, shorter stem,
and 430mm chain stays to supply mountain bike stability and handling to
the twitchy gravel category. We have added more trail and chain stay length
for higher speeds both on and o gravel, while allowing for more party on
singletrack.
In addition to aggressive geometry we added clearance for 50c tires for the
most ambitious adventures. Super-low standover heights and dropper posts
keep blood pressures in check when things point downward. 140-160mm flat
mount or MTB discs hold down the stopping duties.
And while shred pumps through the Chamois Hagar’s veins, versatility
grounds the Hagar’s infectious energy. Seven water bottle mounts, stealth
rack and fender mounts, 1x and 2x options, close ratio and wide-range builds,
internal routing, Di2 provisions, and 100x12/142x12 spacing just begin to
tell its story. There’s even rubber frame protection for when things get loose
and rowdy. And while a 66.67� head tube angle may beckon berm-slapping
daydreams, the Hagar begs to be ripped anywhere. For those wanting to tear
legs o, we made sure it’s at home devouring pavement on 34mm tires. For
those wheeling to work, run a flat bar and bolt on a rack. Gritting your way
through a weather-ravaged rando? Weather-sealed frame plugs keep the
Chamois Hagar watertight. Our builds oer 125mm, 150mm and 180mm
droppers so you still have room for a seatbag dropper while the multi water
bottle boss layout allows for full or partial frame bags with hydration to
spare—bikepacker’s delight. If you’re looking to pigeon hole, the Chamois
Hagar defies classification. And shamefaced as we may be about now being
in the gravel market, we’re not even sure we’re in it. Maybe we’ve invaded it,
a hostile takeover—alert the press, gravel’s been hijacked and the Chamois
Hagar’s here to party.
Because with the Chamois Hagar, you don’t rethink riding. You board the
Hagar and ride how you ride. It’s meant for that. It wants it. Enough so that
you ride that way even if it wasn’t your intention, even if you’re going long
chasing light, searing past bewildered dirt tourists, or making your commute
not suck. It has that eect—it is what it is and it isn’t sorry about it—and that’s
just what we intended.
